	Helsinki Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Helsinki Cathedral (in Finnish Helsingin tuomiokirkko, in Swedish Helsingfors domkyrka) is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral and the seat of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the centre of Helsinki, Finland.
		A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Helsinki, the church was built in 1830-1852, representing the neoclassical style.
		The cathedral is often used as a symbol of the whole city of Helsinki, just as the Turku castle often symbolises Turku, the Tammerkoski bridge symbolises Tampere and a large bridge called the Jätkänkynttilä ("Lumberjack's candle") symbolises Rovaniemi.

		On the only rainy day I checked out the cathedral, the National museum, where a bag made out of birds fascinated me forever; was invited to a great Circus performance in the Savoy theatre and went for a drink in “Bar 9”.
		We also enjoyed exploring the famous Helsinki cathedral – both on the inside but also sitting on the steps, going around on the lovely paved streets, and riding the low streetcar (we did not have any of those in Tallinn back then).
		we had a 24hour stop over in helsinki, ceratinly a night to remember, we stayed in a hostel (my first time) and met some amazing people out on the street as well as bunking with us in the hostel.
